Assembly And Setup; Attaching The Hand Control Holder - Celestron NexStar 5SLT Mode D'emploi

ASSEMBLY AND SETUP

Your NexStar SLT comes in three major sections: the optical tube, the fork arm and the tripod These sections can be attached
in seconds using the quick release coupling screw located under the tripod mounting platform and the dovetail mounting clamp
located on the inside of the fork arm To begin, remove all of the accessories from their individual boxes Remember to save all
of the containers so that they can be used to transport the telescope Before attaching the visual accessories, the telescope
tube should be mounted to its tripod First, install the accessory tray onto the tripod legs:
ACCESSORY TRAY AND TRIPOD
1 Remove the tripod from the box and spread the legs apart until
the center leg brace is fully extended
2 Locate the accessory tray, and place it on top of the tripod
center support brace in between the tripod legs
3 Rotate the accessory tray so that the central hole in the tray
slides over the flange post in the center of the support bracket
4 Finally, rotate the tray so that the locking tabs slide under the
locking clips on support bracket You will here the tray snap
into place
It is a good idea to level the tripod and adjust the height of the
tripod legs before attaching the fork arm and tube Minor adjust-
ments can be made later To adjust the height of the tripod legs:
1 Loosen the tripod leg locking bolt located on the side of
each leg
2 Slide the inner portion of each leg down about 6 to 8 inches,
or until the tripod reaches your desired height for observing
3 Adjust the tripod height until the bubble level on the tripod leg
is centered
4 Tighten the tripod locking bolts to hold each leg in place
